After three months in SF I headed down to LA to hang out with photographer Birdman and paint a couple of walls in Culver City and Downtown Arts District, thanks to Branded Arts and Daniel Lahoda LA Freewalls respectively.
First wall was a giant 'American Phoenix' dedication to Warren Brand at the Branded Arts Complex in Culver City. Insidentally if your in LA, Branded Arts is throwing a block party Sat Nov 10th. Also painting close by was Miss Van & Dan Quintana, was awesome seeing them work on such a dope piece and hanging out for a bit in LA.
Second was the 'Blood, Sweat & Tears' wall in Downtown LA, using a classic heart image as homage to the history and hard work of LA Muralists and graffiti culture. Stoked to score a spot next to good friends Dabs & Myla.

Bingera fight back for perfect season
FOOTBALL: Absolutely nothing was going to stop Bingera's Debbie Caldwell from playing in her sides grand final on Saturday.
The player-coach tore her anterior cruciate ligament one month ago, which should have ruled her out for the rest of the season.
Instead, Caldwell mustered incredible stamina to play 10 minutes from the bench in the second half to help the Stripeys win 2-1 against the United Warriors.
"This week she did as much as possible and somehow got out there to play," Bingera captain Madelyn McCracken said.
"She held off surgery until Tuesday (today) just to be a part."
The win capped off a perfect season for the side as they won back-to-back titles.
But they were made to work hard for it by a gallant Warriors side who took it to the defending champions.
The Warriors took an early lead before Bingera fought back with two goals to lead at half time.
McCracken scored what turned out to be the winner in a contest that saw no goals in the second half.
"We were genuinely shocked to go down early," she said.
"The contest had a tough feel to it and it was the hardest one for us all year.
"We knew if we kept pushing we'd get the goals to come back, which we did."
The side is now unbeaten in its past 44 matches, including 23 wins and one draw this season.
"It's a huge achievement for any team in any sport to finish the season unbeaten," McCracken said.
"We'll now have a good off-season and recover for next year."
McCracken said most players should be back next year as the club aims for three titles in a row.

What to CookCake
From Zero to Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars—in 4 Steps
This is part of an ongoing series to celebrate bodegas (and their owners) in New York City—each week, we're highlighting recipes from food writers and chefs made entirely from ingredients purchased in bodegas. Today: Chef, writer, and brain behind The Inherited Plate blog, Danielle Rehfeld delivers yet another way to use pints of ice cream creatively.
One of the many reasons New Yorkers love their locale is the breadth of culture, music, food, and the 24-7 availability of pretty much anything you need. Being a native New Yorker and chef who has cooked with people from around the world, bodegas have always held a special place in my heart. Whether getting bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll at 6 a.m. or a six-pack for a late night party, you can always depend on hard-working bodega owners to be open, accessible, and, often times, the nicest people to interact with on a daily basis. A pint of ice cream or a pack of Advil is often just 4-5 blocks away, at most. Different neighborhoods around the five boroughs cater to various ethnic and socio-economic demographics, so some will be schmancier than others, or offer ingredients more marketable to the people in their 'hood (see: konjac noodles). One thing all bodegas have, hands down, is ice cream. Here's a special, 4-ingredient ice cream cake (which can be cut into bars) that I share in honor of Chelsea's Alaska Market and the beautiful Naha, from Bangladesh, who works all day at the store and goes home to cook her own family a meal at night. If you love Good Humor strawberry shortcake ice cream pops, available at some bodegas, you'll love this make-at-home version!
- 13.5 ounces Lorna Doone shortbread cookies (54 snack size cookies or 4 cups crushed cookies)
- 4 ounces unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
- 1 pint Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream, softened slightly*
- 2 pints Häagen-Dazs strawberry ice cream, softened slightly*

Chin Mudra Explained
You've seen it? But what does it mean and why do it???? Why should I care?
Mudra just means gesture or symbol. So we do these Mudra to get you
thinking about what it symbolises and even some texts go so far as to
suggest you promote the effects too by doing the mudra.
This particular mudra means a lot to a lot of people.
Take recent times- it means 'ok' which is actually a similar meaning
to the Aincent one!*
Or from a scientific point of view- it symbolises what we as humans
have above other ape type animals- our evolution to oppose the thumb,
make tools and evolve. I say 'have above the apes' in the loosest
sense as I do think even if we're more developed we should be equal.
So to my Darwinists out there doing this Mudra symbolises evolution,
knowledge and development.
To the more strict yogi, Hindu and Buddhist the Mudra is empowered with meaning
'Union'. The word yoga itself means union too** so the thumb symbolises
the universal everything and the fore finger your internal self then
they're joining together because after all they're the same thing***.
When you realise this union or realise they are the same thing, you
get to self realisation which is the goal of yoga. So this mudra means
a lot and it has for millennia.
So just take the interpretation you want to and use this symbol. I often get
us doing it in tree (Vrksasana).
If to you it means 'ok'! Stand proud in tree and proclaim to the world
you are ok! If to you it symbolises your evolution stand proud in tree
squeeze your finger and thumb and proudly express how evolved and
beautiful you are! If it means you aspire to be self realised and
joined with universal energy- proclaim that, and well hopefully even promote that self realisation by doing the mudra.
By the way if you're in the ok camp and you're diving- dont do a
thumbs up instead it makes your diving instructor get you to the
surface promptly!!
* If you assume that you'll feel 'ok' when you are self realised which has to e the case right?
**plus or minus some interpretations
*** Both philosophies/religions agree that there's a universal energy type god and a self. One thinks you are reunited so actually separated now. The other belives you're not separated even now- but you just realise that you are one. Either way....

Herbal Healing
Also known as herbalism, herbal healing is ideally done right out of your own backyard. However, if you can grow your own, then you will have to make do with what you can find at the store.
Always try to get the organic varieties if you can. And another place to source your herbs is at your local markets.
Ask around because a lot of people grow just one or two varities, but do it really well. Ask to trade cuttings/seeds.
Did you hear? I'm giving away all my natural healing ebooks for free! Click the button below...
Gua Sha
An ancient Chinese natural healing modality that is like a cross between fire cupping and massage. A very intense experience!
Therapeutic Touch
Developed in the 1970's by a couple of distinguished nurses in America, this healing modality is good relief for many ailments.
Binaural Beats
Some of the most relaxing, deep and restful sleep you are ever likely to get is with binaural beats as the background to your zeds.

Profession: Cultural and artistic event planner
Origin: Italy
City: Milan
Education: Bachelor in Business and Economics for Art, Culture and Communication at Bocconi University, Master's Degree in Visual Culture and Curatorial Studies at Brera Academy of Fine Arts
Why do you do what you do? I organize exhibitions and study contemporary art because I firmly believe in culture and its ability to pose questions and doubts to raise awareness; and of course, because I like it
Could you describe your style and how it developed? I do not think I am mature enough to define mine as a proper "style", but I consider my attitude rather critique and constructive.
Where do you get inspiration from? I strongly believe in interconnections and cross-knowledge between all the cultural fields: my inspiration comes from everything that catches my attention because of its singularity or oddity.
What is the best part about working within the creative industries? Exploration and discovery
What do you wish you knew about your business before you got started? I wish I knew how hard and at the same time challenging it is, day by day.
Has your style developed/changed over the time being active? If yes, how? Yes, of course. The more I study, the more I get into the field, the more I manage to adjust my actions in order to propose something more structured and hopefully meaningful for others.
Who would you like to work with? I would not mind working with someone who is not from the "beaux arts" field, such a mathematician or a scientist: I love entropy and chaos theories!
What is your idea of success? I think is being able to do what you like and to earn enough money to live from it.
Is there a message that you are trying to portray through your work? I think it could be to never give things for granted: never stop on the surface, always get deeper.
Do you believe it is important to raise artistic awareness in your country? Yes, I do. Italy is a marvelous country with an amazing and often not recognized enough cultural heritage: we are just too used to beauty that we tend not to appreciate it the way it should. So, again, yes, artistic awareness must be raised to preserve what shapes our cultural identity.
In your opinion, how important is it to culturally educate through art? It's very important: I would not do the job I do if I would have thought something different

Here is another episode of Adjust the Mic. #23 NOT Scott thot. I am not even going to give this one much of a explanation. Mattie wanted to call this episode Roast the Host VOL 2 or something like that. I get picked on yet again. I honestly feel like this was one of our funniest episodes yet. Let me know what you think.

text: Following quickly on the heels of their debut, here's the 2nd 7" from Buffalo's Bad People. As I noted in the description of their 1st EP, this band is ex-Brown Sugar and definitely has a lot of that band's off-kilter hardcore punk in their DNA; however, particularly on this EP Bad People are even catchier and more punk-sounding. The helium vocals recall the Dickies or numerous Killed by Death-type bands, but the tight, fast, and catchy playing makes me think of something more like Rhino 39... definitely one of my favorite current bands, and this new record is even more highly recommended than their first.

(Comments Off on Golgotha)
But for all this Easter has not come yet. And the personal journey to Golgotha is not over for many. The cross and resurrection for them to come. Oven temptations they still have. And the one who will turn 'twisted soul' from the path of True Life (John 14, 6) and will remain half-baked semi-finished […]

The journey along the Silk Road(s) have been quite well known across the world for trading and exchange of all things created along its path. David and I are traveling the main path across China from Beijing to Urumqi with over 10 stops along the way. Even after the first stop out of Beijing (Datong) many changes are noted and as you move West they increase drastically. This is quite an amazing cultural encounter and opens your eyes to the effect of intermixing cultures on a defined trail.
The most notable change is of course the change in population. As the percentage of Muslims increase – the things in shops change, the interactions among people, and of course the food. Xi'an boasts an amazing Muslim quarter full of glorious street vendors and every meat you've ever wanted on a stick, roasted on an open charcoal grill with delectable seasonings. Do yourself a favor and try the eggplant – I swear even non-vegetable lovers will die (of happiness) at the taste of this. When you see a street vendor with whole eggplants in front of their grill, just point at one and they will get it made for you.
If you've been to Turkey or any number of locations in the Middle East, this will hit home with you and it may be your first stop upon arrival to the city. Outside of the Muslim quarter happen to be the two most beautiful structures of the city (just to the East you find the Bell and Drum Towers). Just to the West you'll find the popular night clubs Salsa and Muse (tables go for $100 USD for 6/pp). The Muslim quarter itself shuts down around 11pm, but the street vendors by the clubs stay open much later (at least 2am).

Call of Duty, Call for Life.
Our mission at Tactical Athletic Performance (TAP) is to provide functional fitness challenges to raise money for organizations, families and individuals in need. The challenges are designed as team events and will test the individual athlete as well as the team. The common theme with our events is a willingness to learn, sometimes through failure; to work hard and overcome the current self and change, and to realize the importance of a life well lived in contrast to one completely wasted. We resonate with the importance of developing a sense of spirit, and the relevance of the event environment to life. To the realization that the person or persons you are fighting for in each event are sometimes in a life or death situations and that WE fight together as a team, a community and as a family.
Service (Service): To others, above self
Integrity (Integritas): You are what you do, and how you live your life
Work Ethic (Work Ethicam): The path to success is punctuated by hard work and the reconstruction of self
Spirit (Spiritus): The development of a contagious desire to better one's self, your teammates and your community
Relevance and Adaptation (Aparte): Discovering one's self, one's talents, weakness and intentions and learning to adapt and become relevant in the face of any challenge

In 2011 we were lucky enough to host a farm visit for a group of children from central London, brought to us by Weetabix, with whom we have a wheat contract. It was a fantastic day and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Watch the short film below to see what we got up to.
This has inspired us to have other educational visits and with the help of Natural England we currently plan to hold more visits for local schools each summer, as well as showing interested adult groups what we do on the farm.
We raise money on our farm walks and in 2012 donated £400 to MacMillan Cancer Support.
Each year we plan to hold several farm walks, typically these are held during early evening and last approximately two hours.
6.30pm Tuesday 7 July: Public Farm Walk
If you would like to attend a farm walk then please contact us on 07989 300959 or email email@example.com. Places are limited and are allocated on a first come first served basis.
Please wear suitable clothing and footwear.
Walks are free to attend but we will have a charity box for Macmillan & Mind.

He's huge. Outsized. He fills the news hole at any moment of any day. His over-tanned face glows unceasingly in living rooms across America. Never has a president been quite so big. So absolutely monstrous. Or quite so small.
He's our Little Big Man.
I know, I know… he induces panic, fear, anxiety, insomnia. Shrinks in liberal America will tell you that, since November 2016, their patients are more heavily medicated and in worse shape. He's a nightmare, a unique monster. It's been almost two years since he first entered the presidential race and in all that time I doubt there's been a moment when the cameras haven't been trained on him, when he wasn't "breaking news." (By May 2016, he had already reportedly received the equivalent in "earned media" of nearly $3 billion in free advertising.) He and his endless controversial statements, flubs, tweets, lies, insults, boasts, tales from outer space, and over-the-moon adjectives are covered daily the way, once upon a time, only Pearl Harbor or the Kennedy assassination was.
Think of him as the end of the world as we, or maybe anyone, including Vladimir Putin, knew it. To me, that means one thing, even though most of you won't agree: I think we owe Donald Trump a small bow of thanks and a genuine debt of gratitude. He's teaching us something invaluable, something we probably wouldn't have grasped without him. He's teaching us just how deeply disturbed our American world actually is, or he wouldn't be where he is.
A Quagmire Country
Think of him as a messenger from the gods, the deities of empire gone astray. They sent us a man without a center, undoubtedly because 17 years into the 21st century our country lacks a center, and a man without a fixed opinion or a single conviction, except about himself and his family, because this country is now a swirling mess of contradictory beliefs and groups at each other's throats. They sent us our first billionaire president who left countless people holding the bag in his various, often failed, business dealings. He brings to mind that classic phrase "those that sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind" just as we're now reaping the results of the 1 percent politics that gained such traction in recent years; and of a kind of war-making, American style, that initially seemed aimed at global supremacy, but now seems to have no conceivable goal. We're evidently destined to go on killing ever more people, producing ever more refugees, cracking open ever more nations, and spreading ever more terror movements until the end of time. They sent a man ready to build a vanity wall on the Mexican border and pour more money into the US military at a time when it's becoming harder for Americans to imagine investing in anything but an ever-more powerful national security state, even as the country's infrastructure begins to crumble. They sent a billionaire who once deep-sixed a startling number of his businesses to save a country that couldn't be more powerful and yet has proven incapable of building a single mile of high-speed rail.

Life Style
Leverage Cake Delivery to Notify Your Presence
There are multiple occasions in life where you want to be with your loved ones, but can't. In those situations, you can leverage the cake delivery platforms and express your feelings, best wishes and notify your presence as well.
In the digital world, there are multiple platforms offering these services for anniversary cakes and for other occasions as well. So, when you are not able to reach, your gift reaches to your loved one.
Here, in this post, you will get to know how amazing these delivery services help in gifting.
1. The ease of arrangement
No matter if you are stuck in a meeting, or out of the town on a business tour. The delivery services help you send your wishes in the form of tasty and fresh cakes, even when you are occupied. You just have to spend a few minutes on the web and arrange a delivery at your desired location. These services become extremely effective when you personally are not able to attend a party due to bad weather. Sending a cake to apologize can save you from the bad judgments.
2. No hard feelings
Imagine, you reach your office one morning and suddenly realize that it is your wedding anniversary. This kind of situation can become troublesome. You are busy all day working in the office and can't go out to buy a gift personally. Here comes the anniversary cake order online with the availability of the favouriteflavours your better half likes. You can easily select her favouriteflavour and organize the delivery at your place. The possibility of her feeling bad decreases with this move. Plus, you get the advantage of the element of surprise as well.
3. A joyful experience
With these services, you also get the chance to fill joy in the life of people who you love and admire the most. Your family, friends or colleagues, all feel very happy to see a tasty surprise. And that element of surprise, as said earlier, is only possible with the availability of the delivery services.
So, these are the most amazing advantages that can allow you to notify your presence among your loved ones. However, when you are selecting a platform for cakes, make sure you ensure the quality of the cakes by looking at the reviews. Also, check the experience and reputation of the platform. Then, you can provide the location and the time of the delivery.
Cakes are one of the most favourite gifts for many. The flavour varieties when becoming a gift, the receiver feels a spark of joy and a smile definitely come to his or her face. Hence, when you decide to surprise someone, a delicious cake would be the best choice.
Hopefully, this post will help you make the right choices while planning a surprise gift for someone. But don't forget to have a good look at the availability of the flavours and the prices. This approach will help you pick the most suitable services for yourself.

Being an editor is a lovely, sociable business: you meet all sorts of interesting people every week, you discuss ideas and experiences, you occasionally have some tasty lunches and a few glasses of fizz… But conversely, being an author – and authors make the publishing business go round: they are at the heart of everything we do – can be a very solitary pursuit. In the hard slog of writing 90,000 words or more it's sometimes easy to lose motivation or question whether you're doing the right thing. If you're truly committed to what you're writing you will push through. Quite simply: if you don't write it down, it will never be a book. Your only real obstacle is yourself. Every author writes differently but the one thing they all have in common is that it is work, hard work and they keep at it until it's right.
Here are some very general Dos and Don'ts that I hope will keep you at your laptop, happily bashing out chapter after chapter (rather than playing your 73rd game of Solitaire!). There are no hard and fast rules, and each author has to find the technique that works for them, but some of these might help you through a hair-pulling moment…
* Enjoy it. Write the book you would love to read. If it's entertaining you, surprising you, delighting you then you have a better chance it will have the same effect on a reader.
* Write regularly. Your writing skill is a muscle and needs to be flexed! Even if you start your session by writing a character description, a blog post or even a shopping list, it will warm you up for your prose. You won't come across a published author who says, 'Whenever I have a few spare moments, I sit on the sofa.' Write whenever and as often as you can.
* Talk to other authors. Whether it's via Twitter or a local writing group, talk about and share your experiences. You might find like minds, new perspectives or opportunities to develop your writing; you will certainly find some great new friends at the very least.
* Read. Read the kind of books you write. Read very different books. Read anything. Because when you're reading, you're absorbing – how stories are effectively written, what impresses you, what bores you, what's been done before.
* Finish the thing! Even if you're not happy with your first or third or twelfth draft, don't stop till you reach 'The End'. Not finishing your novel means you have the perfect excuse to leave it in a dusty drawer, so be tough on yourself and set goals and deadlines to finish it and share it with early readers.
* Expect perfection. I can guarantee you'll have to do many rewrites, simply because every author does, whether they have published 1 or 101 books. No one gets it right first time. So don't beat yourself, but do keep working at it.
* Rush. Take your time not just in crafting your novel but in honing your approach to agents and any other publishing professionals. Do your research, triple check your submission emails, be patient and calm. Your first impression really counts!
* Bad-mouth anyone. It sounds obvious, but don't start any email with a complaint about a bestselling author you think isn't up to scratch or someone within the publishing industry who has turned you down. Not only does it show bad manners, but publishing is a small world and you might be email their former editor/best friend/spouse!
* Be disheartened. If you receive rejections or less-than-glowing-reviews of your work, it's natural to feel upset. But take a deep breath, shake it off and dive back in. For every story of an author being signed up on their first novel, there are countless others where the author kept trying until their 12th novel broke through.
* Jump on a bandwagon. It's very easy to pick out the novels that have been written to 'cash in' on a market trend: they usually feel unconvincing and a bit hollow. Always write what you love, because that passion translates into a genuinely good read.

Cabrito Oscuro
Old Vine Tempranillo
VDT Castile y Leon
The results of our first journey are to be found in Cabrito Oscuro. Meaning the "black goat", the name is a reflection of our desire to break the mould, stand out from the pack and to take the path less trodden. We journeyed to the little know region of Cigales and found a wonderful old bush vine vineyard planted in 1943.
We were helped on our first journey by revered winemaker Ana Martin to whom we owe a great debt for her patience and advice in finding the right sites and in making the wine with us.
Sourced from old vine, dry grown, bush vine Tempranillo grown in a single vineyard in the D.O of Cigales, Cabrito Oscuro belies the humble reputation of this area and reinforces the belief that many of Spain's best sites are still to become famous. The small, intense berries are filled with wild aromatics and robust tannins. The gentle, simple winemaking includes extended maturation in oak.
"Tiny yields and small berries make for potentially robust, burly wines and while Cabrito Oscuro possesses a firm structure, the fruit is balanced, pure and long. Oak is present, never dominating and acts to "season" the fruit, coaxing layer upon layer of complex flavours to flow."

text: Well i tried to dump a game via wifi using Waninoko's Wii DVD dumper 1.2, but because at the moment I'm reduced to using a crappy laptop with not much hard drive space left. So I was sending it straight to my 8GB flash drive in the computer. It was working wonderfully, downloading the iso to the flash drive at the normal rate among many users of the Homebrew Application at around 560 KB/s. But when it reached exactly 4.00 GB the download stopped claiming that my flash drive ('Disk' in the error message on computer) did not have any space left. My first immediate thought was my flash drive was really a 4GB model hacked to look like 8GB but i then proceded to put more files on so it totalled over 5GB. So i re-formatted my flash drive to Fat 32 and tried the dumping process again and alas it stopped at 4.00 GB with the same message coming from firefox. Any ideas/help thanks? Edit- Should've maybe posted this in the Computer related discussions section as this is all to do with my Flash drive and laptop rather than the wii program itself

Welcome to the City of London's simulated budget exercise. This educational exercise allows you to: learn more about what services your property tax dollars support; to provide input on where you would like to see more or less spending in the future; and experience the types of decisions City Staff and City Council face when developing and approving budgets.
This year, the City of London, for the first time in history, is seeking City Council approval on a multi-year budget approach that cover years 2016-2019.
London City Council approved a new Strategic Plan on March 10, 2015 (100 days into their 4-year term). Linking the strategies included in this plan to a multi-year budget process provides accountability between what is achieved and the cost to the taxpayer. This process will also provide greater certainty to tax payers about the future direction of taxes.
On January 11, 2016 City Staff proposed an annual average tax levy increase from rates of 3.1% (approx. $85 on a home assessed at $221,000) which is comprised of a recommended annual average increase of 2.6% ($71 of $85) for the base operating budget and consideration of an additional average annual increase of 0.5% ($14 of $85) for strategic investments.
How will this feedback be used?
Feedback from this tool will be provided to members of City Council for consideration during the budget process. For other opportunities to provide input during the budget process and to see updated summaries of resident input from the tool, click here.
This short video will assist you in understanding "How your City Budget Works". To see other financial related videos done by the City of London, click here.
How it works?
Input the assessed value of your home into the space provided below or use the London pre-set average assessed home value of $221,000 to visualize how much money is currently spent on services offered by the City of London.
If you are uncertain of what assessed value means or are unsure of where to find this information, click here.
Base Budget Exercise: after learning how much of your property tax bill is spent on each service, please use the sliding scales provided to indicate if you would like to see an increase or decrease to a specific service over the next four years.
Strategic Investments: this list identifies projects and initiatives from Council's Strategic Plan that require additional funding throughout the 2016-2019 Multi-Year Budget. Please indicate which projects and initiatives you support by using the yes/no slider.
Get a summary of the decisions you made and share with your friends, family and your local councillor!

Tack Change!
I've been inwardly debating whether my Beval still fits Connor or not, but after seeing some telling sweat patterns lately and seeing the conformation shots I took yesterday, I realized that I needed to stop being in denial about it: the Beval no longer fits him. Today, in an attempt to see if the saddle was part of his canter problem and in an attempt to put me in something that is actually meant for sitting, I pulled out the saddle I'm so ashamed of, nobody knows I own it: my A/P Collegiate I bought used in high school.
It's in embarrassing condition. Structurally sound, but ugly, I've kept it around as my "I'm probably going to foxhunt someday" saddle, or my "I don't want to put my good saddle on a green horse" saddle. I haven't ridden in it in probably four or five years, and wasn't sure what to expect fit-wise when I put it on him.
|See? Back riser is necessary.
|Happier sweat patterns, without big dry circles.
So what's the plan? Since this is an A/P and I am primarily flatting right now anyway, it will do for now. That means the Dressage saddle search is suspended indefinitely. I am probably going to have to sell the Beval and use the proceeds to get a new jump saddle. Hanging on to it in case he loses condition, or in case I someday own something that needs a MW tree again, is just not smart.
|Look, foam! Told you we were working hard!

The U.S. Government is Betraying It's People
America is in danger of losing it's constitutional democracy. We have a tyrant in the White House. Corporations and Wall St. are plundering the economy with the help of a two-party system that only serves the rich. Meanwhile we are at war at home and abroad. We must act now to save our republic before it's too late.
Trump is unfit to be President
He is a racist, obscene, misogynist conman. Trump must be impeached. Demand your government act--now.
We are Rapidly Losing our Free Country
Another black man is slaughtered by police after being mistaken for carrying a gun. It's the second time in less than a month this has happened. And it seems no one in government is talking about changing how policing is done in America.
Stop Gun Violence
The latest school in Parkland, Florida has raised conscientiousness. It is time to act. We must fight the influence of the NRA and force their minions in Washington to act on behalf of the American people controlling who gets guns and what kind.
After the YouTube shooting the founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, called for stronger gun laws. And the public supports his sentiment. Gun violence in America is getting worse. That is why we must continue the struggle.

Radiation Be Gone
"I ran out of the Aulterra vitamins for my DNA repair but I found clarity today by finding out about the plug and stickers that go onto the cellphones or any electronic device to protect against these bad EMF frequencies which is way more invaluable in preventing horrific effects to your health and environment then the Aulterra I was taking which can't do much good for me if I don't take care of the environment first the cause of the problem. This is why mainstream society is evil because they make money off of band aids selling lies while people just suffer and die thinking they are caring for their health. Benevolence is only represented by the big picture which is the truth and especially this month of September its all about the Truth Chakra, our voice and its about restoration of our master within that we really are!"

Wilding pine control on Mid Dome has tackled many challenges, and this year marks a major milestone for the work that's been achieved.
It's been ten years since the formation of the Mid Dome Wilding Trees Charitable Trust, set up to address the spread of Pinus contorta across some of Southland's most valuable and vulnerable high country tussock and pastoral landscapes.
In celebration, the Trust is hosting an evening open to the community at the Mossburn Community Centre, with presentations on the history of the Mid Dome work programme, an outline of hurdles the group has overcome, and the work done so far.
This has included the successful research into and use of a herbicide mix to kill mature seeding trees, and gaining $2 million in funding for the next two years from the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) through the National Wilding Conifers Control Programme, alongside grants from Environment Southland, the Department of Conservation and Land Information New Zealand.
MPI chief operations manager Roger Smith and MPI director of readiness and response director Geoff Gywn will also be attending the evening.
Initially planted for erosion control, wilding pines have become a significant problem due to the rapid spread of windblown seeds and the pines' ability to outcompete native species and invade high country pastures.
"The Trust has dug in hard and worked tirelessly under the leadership of Trust chair Ali Timms to keep the programme going over the last 10 years," says Environment Southland biosecurity manager Richard Bowman. "Mid Dome creates an effective take off point for windblown seed to spread to a vast area, threatening conservation and farming values, and the Trust's work has really pushed this back, especially in terms of seed source trees. The evening will acknowledge this work."
The celebration will be held on Tuesday 7 November 2017 from 4.00 – 6.00 pm at the Mossburn Community Centre, Devon Street, Mossburn.

PUBLISHED ON October 6th, 2011
There is no unified approach to pest management in America's schools. Each state sets its own standards for pest control in educational institutions. For this reason, Portland pest control legislation guiding schools looks very different than Seattle pest control regulations for schools. Below, we've compared the pest management approaches of both Oregon and Washington, with a special eye on how each state handles Integrated Pest Management.
Before diving into the details, let's consider why the question of how schools handle pest management is important. Clearly, no one wants pests in the classroom; does it really matter how those pests are eliminated?
Certainly it does matter when one begins to examine how pest control methods can impact learning outcomes. Multiple studies have linked pesticides to learning challenges. For instance, a national study that was recently highlighted in the journal Pediatrics found that students who are exposed to pesticides are at a higher risk of developing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). From Seattle to Portland, pest control professionals are increasingly trading in blanket use of pesticides for the more targeted, holistic practices of Integrated Pest Management.
Integrated Pest Management is a low-toxicity approach to pest control that considers the natural habitats, eating habits and other characteristics of pests in order to eliminate them in ways that won't harm the earth or the health of nearby humans. Some states have passed legislation specifying how schools should use Integrated Pest Management techniques when combating pests.
For instance, Oregon prohibits the use of most hazardous chemicals anywhere on school grounds. Oregon law also states that pesticides may not be used for purely aesthetic reasons. Furthermore, Oregon codes specify that only "low-impact pesticides" may be used in schools, so Portland pest control professionals must limit which chemicals they use when eradicating pests from classrooms.
To be more specific, chemicals that the EPA labels as category I or II pesticide products may not be used in Oregon schools. (These products are discernable by their labels, which must include the words "Warning" or "Danger.") Furthermore, Oregon schools may not use any product containing an ingredient that the EPA has decided is a known, probable or likely carcinogen. (Only two states, Massachusetts and Oregon, have this law on the books.) These rules extend to both public and private institutions and apply to preschools and other childcare facilities as well. Overall, Oregon has some of the most stringent anti-pesticide laws governing pest control in schools.
Washington, in contrast, has very relaxed legislation guiding pest control in educational institutions. The state requires that signs be posted on school property at the time of pesticide application, and for 24 hours following. Notice that pesticides will be applied must also be sent to parents 48 hours in advance. (Very similar stipulations are also included in Oregon legislation.) Seattle pest control professionals must coordinate with school administrators to follow these rules, but otherwise they may apply any chemicals they deem necessary to eliminate pests.
For the safety of their children, parents should insist that schools use Integrated Pest Management techniques to eliminate pests, even if state codes do not require it.

The Successful Failures
No Depression magazine dubbed The Successful Failures as "one of the hardiest and most prolific outfits on the planet" playing "instantly infectious melodies that tread the line between power pop and Americana without wholly committing to either". With a name borrowed from a Jack London short story and an indie rock work ethic The Successful Failures burst onto the scene out of the NJ pinelands in 2006. TSF has released 6 full length albums full of songs about vikings, armadillos, old cars, murder, prison, fences, and girls. The band continues to showcase their versatility, seamlessly marrying power-pop, garage-rock, classic country and un-affected rock n roll with roots-inflected rock and winsome, harmonic, pop. The band has shared the stage with Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Jeff Tweedy, Deer Tick, Dr. Dog, Strand of Oaks, Ike Reilly, JD McPherson, and many many more. Most of all, the band's infectious energy and love for what they do shines through in every live performance. One fan put it this way, "SF could play on a small raft heading over the falls and still have a blast and crank out the best tunes this side of the Milky Way."
Some Reviews:
The Successful Failures–Captains of Industry, Captains of War (FDR).
The finest pleasure for music fans is to watch great bands get even better, and Chesterfield, NJ's The Successful Failures have perfected their already deeply respectable/respected craft on their new fifth LP,Captains of Industry, Captains of War (FDR). All their formidable strengths have been streamlined and crystalized on Captains; already one of the most dependable, refreshingly honest and smart rock 'n' roll bands in the U.S., they still seamlessly mix melodic classic power-pop, garage rock, and ageless rock 'n' roll with more roots-inflected rock and winsome, harmonic pop. Now with Captains, they've arrived at a place of timelessness, not unlike Pleased to Meet Me-era Replacements, Cheap Trick (note Captains' "O Carolina" nods to their 1977 In Color killer, "O Caroline"), and Superdrag—whose drummer, Don Coffee Jr., once produced them—or contemporary Teenage Fanclub, Sloan, and Nada Surf.
Like such stalwarts, listening to Captains, you don't know what's best: singer/guitarist/songwriter/FDR Records head/former Dipsomaniacs leader Mick Chorba's stubborn, gripping hooks and thoughtful-as-ever lyrics, or the trio's insistent yet smooth attack. Like 2012's Here I Am, Chorba caresses or stomps out sticky, lashing licks on his guitar, bolstered by Ron Bechamps supple bass (and cool vocal harmonies) and Rob Martin's powerful pounding. Pleasantly, they sprinkle in acoustic-built gems such as the elegiac, quietly heartbreaking, piano-fed "Falling Out" and "Meal Parade" alongside sublime guitar rockers such as "Stagger Lee" (an original twist on the wicked protagonist of the 19th Century folk/R&B classic associated with Mississippi John Hurt, Woody Guthrie, Lloyd Price, and Wilson Pickett, with a prominent reference to a 1969 Neil Young LP), "Sunny," and the evocative—of another American folklore archetype—"John Henry."
Formed in 2005 and named for a 1901 Jack London short story, Minions of Midas, it's significant that like The Replacements' Pleased, Captains sees The Successful Failures slimmed down from a quartet to their initial threesome. Second guitarist John Williams "had to leave to open a running store," explains Chorba," bringing them "back to the original roots: a collection of songs I wrote that is band arranged. We wanted it to be an up-tempo rock 'n' roll record," he remembers. "I write a lot of songs, and some are more on the alt.country side, but we were picking through the ones that Rob could bash around a bit."
"There still are a few in-between tracks,' he allows. "But it's a guitar record. We record live, no click track, so it has the right energy, at our studio FDR studio C. And after every best take, Rob would stand up and say, "F-ing rock," and we'd know it was the one—you can even hear that once on the album."
Meanwhile, fans will note something familiar about "O Carolina." "Right, that's a continuation of 'Carolina (I'm in Love With You),' a song on [2007 second LP] Ripe For the Burning, The earlier song was a guy in prison that married, based on a real story. And in this new one, he realizes she's double-crossed him." Likewise, in literary-minded Chorba fashion, "'Milwaukee' is "written from the point of view of Pip from [Charles Dickens' 1860 landmark] Great Expectations," which he teaches as a New Jersey High School English teacher. "A lot of the songs are about someone setting off on a journey, he continues. "For instance, 'Hit the Ground Running' is about turtles racing to the ocean, a metaphor for starting out your own adventure in life, while all sorts of predators are trying to get you… It's the only song I've ever written from the point of view of a turtle," he laughs.
In addition to their new EP, Pine Hill showing their range by convincingly covering Old Crow Medicine Show, Johnny Cash, and Hank Williams Sr., The Successful Failures often do special acoustic shows that include covers of Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, and Irish folk. Clearly they can do it all, with spirit, intelligence, determination, and sneaky power—and Captains is their finest statement of purpose to date.
—Jack Rabid, editor and publisher, The Big Takeover Magazine
The band's newest album, Here I Am, gets you smiling immediately with the sly wordplay of How People Start Sentences. The cleverness continues throughout — I certainly never thought I'd be humming a song called The Rise of China. And just try to remove the addictive opening chant of Pig Tight Cattle High from your brain after the first listen.
Here I Am, like the Successful Failures previous efforts, is a near perfect blend of Replacements-inspired rock, some alt-country leanings (see Clifton Mills), and crunchy melodies that never lose their timelessness. It's feel-good music. Go ahead and listen. " Fresh Droppings: The Successful Failures — Here I Am APRIL 27, 2012 BY JEREMY ZUCKER
"With Trenton's Dipsomaniacs on extended hiatus, Mick Chorba's "other band" has become his priority, and they're even better. They replicate the Dips' energy and melodic thrust, but the 'Failures third LP again indulges a wider scope. Three opens with folk-pop, takes three more valid excursions into country-rock shakers ("College Scholarship Blues," "All You Had," "Any Ol' Thing"), and kicks ass on a harmonica-blazing rave-up, "Scream"—reminding oldsters of that forgotten word "repertoire." Beyond that, proving that 2007's cheekily-titled Ripe for the Burning was no fluke, Three is another sweet treat for lovers of recent Sloan, Pleased to Meet Me Replacements, Matthew Sweet, Velvet Crush, Mike Ness, and Cheap Trick (whose "Surrender" lyric "Got my Kiss records out" is referenced cleverly on "Houston, We Have a Drinking Problem"). Besides, the ensemble's arrangements (piano a plus) and harmonies allow for lighter touches to tickle backgrounds, even while one falls anew for the band's bread 'n' butter bold 'n' bursting big guitar power-pop prowess, on hotfoot treats such as "Armadillo Boy," "Fletcher," and the buzzing title track. Take it from a long-ago native—New Jersey can rock." (Jack Rabid in The Big Takeover March 2010).
"With their fab merging of crunchy power-chord pop and Stonesy drive, these Jersey rockers, with Mick Chorba of Dipsomaniacs fame leading the charge, are one of the best bands going. One listen to the rousingly infectious "All I Can Take" will hook you" (Pop Culture Press Magazine, Austin, TX, 2008).
The Successful Failures formed in 2005 as a side project for Mick Chorba (Dipsomaniacs). In 1998 Chorba had released the solo song "Hick Bars" on a compilation CD using the name Successful Failures (taken from a Jack London short story) as his moniker. The name was resurrected 8 years later when drummer Rob Martin and bassist Ron Bechamps were recruited to form a real band. The trio rehearsed in Martin's Pine Hill, NJ basement, learning the songs that would become their debut CD. In May of 2005 The Successful Failures played their first show in Dewey Beach, DE at the Dewey Beach Pop Fest with Greg Potter (Blank Pages) sitting in on guitar. The band's debut self titled CD (featuring "Up to Her Ears", "Sewer Water", and "If That's the Way That You Want It") was released. Later that year guitarist John Williams joined the group and the quartet began working on their sophomore effort.
In 2007 the band played a series of out of town shows in DC, Baltimore, Raleigh, Winston-Salem, and more. In July of '07 the band camped out in Knoxville, TN to record with Superdrag drummer/producer Don Coffey at Independent Recorders. The Successful Failures also appeared at the Corner Lounge at the Coffey-run festival, Hottfest. The 5-song EP, Bridges Over the Delaware was released (featuring the title track, the Kristofferson cover "Sunday Morning Coming Down", as well as a live version of "Sewer Water" recorded in Arlington, VA). In November of '07 the band released Ripe for the Burning (featuring "All You Can Take", "Sun Makes Circles", and "Carolina I'm in Love"). The band celebrated with a show at what was becoming SF headquarters – The Khyber in Philadelphia. SF opened for Ike Reilly at the Khyber as well around this time. The band closed out 1997 by contributing a version of the Big Star song "Oh Dana" to the FDR tribute CD, About a Girl.
In 2008 The Successful Failures traveled to the Midwest for a series of memorable shows in Chicago, IL and Madison, WI. A live recording of Hank Williams' "Your Cheatin' Heart" (recorded in Madison) was featured on the 3 song digital only ep, Time to Sell (also featuring "Time to Sell" and "Fishing Boat Picture"). In the summer the band played with Mic Harrison (former member of Superdrag and V Roys) in Richmond and continued to play locally in Philadelphia as well as DC, Baltimore and other East Coast hot spots. In 2009 the band began work in earnest on their third album which was recorded at Chorba's home studio in Chesterfield, NJ and mixed by Drew Mazurek in Baltimore, MD. The rockin' new album, Three Nights (featuring "Houston, We Have a Drinking Problem", "Armadillo Boy", and "Scream") was released in May of 2010 to much critical acclaim.
In 2011 SF released a digital-only-single called "Liar in the Room". The band used most of the year to work on 20 plus songs slated for what became their 4th album, Here I Am (released in April 2012). The band continued to play shows with stops in Richmond, VA and Winston-Salem, NC as well as many local shows in NYC, Philadelphia, and NJ. The band performed a marathon set as a featured artist at the Philadelphia Rock n Roll Marathon in September of 2011 and participated in a tribute to Clash front-man, Joe Strummer, at the North Star in Philadelphia in December. The band ended the year with a special release, a digital-only-single called "The Voice of Joe Strummer" in December.
In 2012 the band released their 4th full length CD, Here I Am, and continued to tour in support of the new album. The album was well received, earning praise from press and fans alike. The opening track and single, "How People Start Sentences" has become a fan favorite and is the most downloaded song the band has released. On Valentine's Day 2013 the band released a digital only single… an underwater love song called "Sea Flowers"… it was presented as a thank you to fans as a free download. SF also contributed a vivacious cover of The Fountains of Wayne song "Flair" to the FDR Tribute to NJ: My Hometown. In the fall of 2013 they appeared at the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion in Bristol, TN (also appearing Lucinda Williams, Deer Tick, Blitzen Trapper and more). Guitarist John Williams left the band in Sept. of 2014 to open a running store in NJ. Jim Becker from the NJ indie rock band, Taggart, filled in on guitar.
In December of 2013 The Successful Failures released the Christmas vinyl split EP Snow Day (Take it Easy). SF contributed 4 holiday songs (3 new originals and a cover of the Ramones song "Merry Christmas I Don't Want to Fight Tonight") and Taggart contributed 4 songs as well. The bands celebrated with a festive show at Ortlieb's in Philadelphia, PA. In the new year The Successful Failures dedicated their time to finishing their new album, Captain's of Industry, Captains of War, featuring 12 new Mick Chorba originals. The band also began playing more and more frequently as an acoustic trio with bassist Ron Bechamps playing mandolin and drummer Rob Martin on the cajon drum. Notable shows included a St. Patrick's day performance at the Parlour in NYC as well as a series of shows at local wineries and outdoor events.
In March of 2014 the band recorded 4 songs live in Rob Martin's Pine Hill, NJ basement, The Bunker, with producer Matt Gorman. The songs were released as an EP, titled Pine Hill, in August 2014. The EP features the new SF song, "Mike Malloy" and three covers (Old Crow Medicine Show, J Cash, and Hank Williams respectively). Joining the band for the recording and other live performances is Pine Hill resident and former Chubby Checker and Robert Hazard guitarist Pete Smith.
In the fall of 2014 The Successful Failures returned to perform at The Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion Festival (Jeff Tweedy and Emmylou Harris headlining). The new album Captains of Industry, Captains of War (featuring "Stagger Lee & Woodrow Wilson", "Milwaukee", and "Ghost Around Here") was released in October of that year. The band celebrated with a hometown show to a packed house at The Record Collector in Bordentown, NJ. The album received local and national praise for it's production, songwriting, and musicianship. The song "Ghost Around Here" was featured nationally on SiriusXM radio. In 2015 the band played to a packed house at Triumph Brewery in New Hope, PA with friends The Paper Jets. St. Patricks Day 2015 proved to be another busy time for SF as they performed several shows in NYC and NJ featuring acoustic versions of several Pogues songs and many traditional Irish tunes with Ron Bechamps on mandolin and lead vocals for much of the set. 2015 found the band at a series of unlikely venues that pretty much rocked… for example: a bike store, a library, more wineries, street fairs, food truck events, and farm markets, performing sometimes as a full electric band with Pete Smith on guitar and sometimes as an acoustic duo or trio.
In the fall of 2015 The Successful Failures returned to Bristol VA/TN for their third year performing at the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion Festival. This year the band shared the stage with Steve Earle, Dr. Dog., Josh Ritter, Strand of Oaks, and many more. The band played two different stages over two days and played an impromptu street performance with some borrowed instruments. In October SF will headline at the Philadelphia Rock n Roll marathon. November has the band returning to Triumph Brew Pub in New Hope, PA with The Paper Jets. The band will close out the year with their annual Black Friday show at the Chesterfield Inn. In the winter of 2015/2016 The Successful Failures will take a hiatus from performing to record their 6th full length album, this time with Pete Smith on guitar. The band plans to tour in 2016 to support the new effort.
